    I started ballet at 27 & ended up broke, divorced & RICHER than I ever imagined

    At 27, I moved to New York City to start ballet for the very first time in my life. While it was an exhilarating experience filled with so much good, the past few years have also been full of unexpected obstacles to overcome: divorce, death, loss, an unlivable apartment, financial strain. This video is about what it actually looks like to pursue ballet as an adult even when life is crazyyyyy. As an adult ballerina training in NYC, I had to navigate grief, financial instability, and mental health and physical health struggles while still showing up to class. This is for the dancers who are struggling to find the motivation to continue to pursuing their dreams because adult life is so overwhelming. If you’re a ballerina rebuilding your life after divorce, an artist navigating financial uncertainty, or a dancer who started “late” but refuses to give up, this one is for you. In this video, I share: • What moving to New York to follow my ballet dream really cost • How personal loss and instability affected my mental health • Why adult ballet is as much emotional endurance as physical training • How I found meaning and purpose in the middle of the chaos If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to start ballet at 27, or whether you can keep pursuing your dream even when it feels like everything is falling apart, this video is for you. I’m Veronica, an adult ballerina documenting what it looks like chase your dreams, take your passions seriously, even when no one understands why you’re doing it.
